Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing Event? 1 [Some] faces, that Day, will be humbled, 2 Toiling, weary, 3 (Yet) Going into the blazing fire. 4 given to drink from a boiling spring. 5 No food shall be theirs save bitter thorn, 6 Which will neither nourish nor avail against hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 Glad for their effort past, 9 in a sublime Garden, 10 where they will hear no idle talk. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 Therein will be thrones raised high, 13 Goblets set, 14 cushions ranged, 15 And linen spread out. 16 Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? 17 and on the sky, how it is raised aloft, 18 And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, 19 and how the earth is spread out? 20 Therefore advise; indeed you are a proclaimer of advice. (The Holy Prophet is a Remembrance from Allah.) 21 You are not over them a controller. 22 Save the one who turns away and disbelieves 23 will be punished by God with the greatest punishment. 24 Indeed, to Us is their return. 25 Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. 26
